DC00-J9 Controller (Independent instructions)#

Basic parameter#

DC00 Controller specifications

Use requirement#

When using the robot and DC00 control cabinet, the user must follow the recommended electrical parameters to reach or exceed the limit parameters, which may cause damage to the controller hardware.

Power supply requirement#

The DC00 control cabinet needs two sets of external power supplies, DC24V and DC48V, which are isolated from each other and not grounded together.

DC48V

45V

59.2V

DC24V

26V

DC24V supplies power to the teaching pendant, RC controller, fan, EIO (function extension IO), and the control circuit itself. The GND of DC24V and PE (shell) are shorted together on the RC control board. DC48V is supplies to the robot by controller board. DC48V convert to 24V, it supplies internal IO power. IO-POWER supplies SIO (safety IO), DIO (digital IO), and CIO (configurable IO) interface power. And, the ground of DC48V and 24V is not connected to PE (shell), which is defined as 0V in this manual. The electrical logic of power management is shown in the following figure: black represents the 0V of DC48V and 24V, and blue represents the GND of DC24V connected to the PE casing.

Attention: The ground or negative pole of the equipment connected to SIO (safety IO), DIO (digital IO), and CIO (configurable IO) should be isolated from the conductive part of the casing; If connected to the conductive part of the body shell, it cannot be connected to the system body’s shell (PE).

Installation requirements#

You can use the DC00 controller sealing assembly _ Angle iron (recommended number 4) as required. Remove the M3 screws on the controller shell as shown in the figure and install the Angle iron. Then use the M3 screws (provided by the customer) to safety the controller through the reserved holes in the Angle iron to the required length. The reference size of the bottom assembly is shown in Figure 23:

Figure 23 DC00 controller installation dimensions

The DC00 control cabinet shall be installed in a dry place with good ventilation, and the DC00 control cabinet shall be cooled by natural convection. When the use scenario is to generate a large amount of heat, such as the robot body running fast, heavy load or frequent braking, the DC00 control cabinet needs to be cooled by an external fan. In order to ensure cooling by fans and natural convection, please refer to the following figure for installation, ensure that each DC00 control cabinet spacing of more than 100mm (heat dissipation requirements) reserved between the vertical side spacing of more than 50mm, as shown in Figure 24.

Switch on and off#

The DC00 control cabinet supports a variety of switching modes, which can be used as follows:

Switch on and off button on control cabinet#

The switch on and off button on the DC00 control cabinet is the micro self-reset button with light (green). When the system switch is ON but the system is not started, press the power button for more than 1 second and release the button. When the button is on, the system starts and works normally. When the system needs to be shut down, use teach pendant port for normal power off and shutdown operations. In case of system problems, you can hold down the button for more than 3 seconds to forcibly power off the system (the main control cabinet data is normally saved).

Switch on and off button on teach pendant#

The switch on and off button on the control cabinet of teach pendant is the micro self-reset button with light (blue). When the system switch is ON but the system is not started, press the power button for more than 1 second and release the button. When the button is on, the system starts and works normally. When the system needs to be shut down, use teach pendant port to perform normal power off and shutdown operations. In case of system problems, long press this button for more than 3 seconds to forcibly power off the system (the main control cabinet data is normally saved).

Remote power on and off buttons#

Using the remote switch, you can turn on or off the system without using the power button on teach pendant panel. Press the power button for more than 1 second and then release the button to power on the system.

The PowerON input is the same as the power-off button. PowerOFF must be used for remote shutdown. During power-off, hold down the power-off button for more than 3 seconds to forcibly power off the system.

For details about cable connection requirements, see 5.12.3 Remote Switch Port.

Emergency stop#

The emergency stop button is connected to the safety I/O port. For details, see 5.9.1 SIO Port Wiring Diagram (b).
